--- Comment #4 from John Engebretson <jeng...@amazon.com> --- "Fudging the spec is not an option." Understood. "That said, I do wonder why expression language is being used in these instances rather than a scriptlet." EL was originally used for this because a) it hid the details of the enums, b) it worked, c) no one understood the performance impacts vs. scriptlets, d) scriptlets are discouraged internally because of maintainability issues. Your search-and-replace suggestion could work, but given the size of our codebase and the sheer number of variations, it isn't feasible. My view of this suggestion is a mechanism for making the existing behavior much faster - with the unfortunate exception that you pointed out. Making adoption free or trivial (config flag) will maximize that benefit for Tomcat users and would give Tomcat an efficiency advantage over similar containers; in our case performance matters most and we wouldn't consider switching off Tomcat unless similar features were available on a competitor. It sounds like you could support an "accelerated JSP" mode that defaults to off, and documentation clearly describes how it violates spec? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
